mornin'

up,
and i'm up.
it's hard to rest in a good position when you're lying on the ground. this one's good enough tho.
hope i haven't spent too long like this. i do not want to ache all day.

how's my head? seems o.k. it's pretty bright out, i wonder what time it is.
good thing the sun hasn't reached over to my side of the tent yet.

maybe i should get up. go get some water. yeah water sounds pretty good right now. go sit on a log with my jug of water and watch the canoes pass by. maybe catch a train or two.
gotta be quiet tho. so damn hard to do exiting a sleeping bag inside of a tent. there's maybe ten obnoxious sounds i can make just trying to get to the zipper on the door. well.

let's do this to this.

oh wow that's noisy.
just go - no point in stopping now. why are these zippers so prone to snagging? why have that little flap there anyway? friggin' columbia. they know what they're doing don't they. the designer must have enjoyed the week following that add-on...'hey guys, did you see this little part here? i know, no one did. gonna make it to production. gonna be awesome.'
friggin' guys working at columbia.

yep it's bright out all right.
oop
weird how my back seems to sieze up like those adjustable pliers my dad used to have, like if you don't clamp 'em correctly they'll just lock up 'til you do it right. at least i've still got an adjustable back.

wait are those pelicans?

if i've ever seen a picture of a pelican in my life then that is them out there on the river.
how about that. pelicans.
whiter than i'd have thought.

man is this nice. but too much sun i'd say. how bad do i look after yesterday anyway...
huh. nice work. take that, nature.
try and give me cancer.
i bet we learn suntan lotion does a hell of a job of doing the same thing some day too though. that'd be about right.
if nature don't get you, the scientists will.

ooooh yeaaah. man if water don't beat all. at least there's no car alarm on this thing. heh.

ah - the rv
still around
me too
cheers to that.

and he's up. mornin'. only slept decent in the daylight eh, too bad.
what's that?
oh sorry.
i guess i could have laid off the 'we're going to die tonight' jokes.
and thanks for not making a bigger deal about the bears/rattlesnakes while we're at it.

alright. you go not catch fish in that river again, and i'm gonna sit in this chair appreciating the majesty of my surroundings along with 'the red headed stranger'.

oh my god do i love that album.

everything's about right, right about now.
